So… you just bought a fabulous new night stand (or better yet, you performed a DIY update on one you already had). In any case, now it’s time to add the finishing touches. Like any other surface in your home, you want to make sure to add a few key pieces to infuse personality. When accessorizing a bedside table, the items should be not only functional, but also personal and interesting.  Here are 7 key items that work for any bedside table. Depending on the size of yours, feel free to edit to ensure things don’t look too cluttered.

1. Alarm Clock: Clearly in the functional category, but this one tres chic (RueDesLouves, Etsy)

2. Lamp: Another necessary yet beautiful addition (Arteriors Home, Zinc Door)

3. Small Flower Arrangement: One view of these in the morning, and your day is off to a great start (inspiration found at haute-hostess.com)

4. Picture Frame: To ensure that loved-one is close to you at all times (Michael Aram, Neiman Marcus)

5. Candle: In case you need to create a certain ambiance in the bedroom 🙂 (Sydney Hale Co. Candle, School House Electric)

6. Jewelry Holder: Fun and functional! (ModCloth)

7. Water Carafe: A thoughtful touch, especially in a guest bedroom (similar; Design Within Reach)

 

Anything you have on your bedside table that’s not on this list?

Ciao for Now,

♥♥ Vicky

Good Chemistry: Mercury Glass

One of the most classic finishes to use in accessorizing a space is glass. Mercury glass in particular adds a sense of elegance and sophistication to a space, yet in a vintage-inspired way. The details and “imperfections” in mercury glass create interest, and you only need 2-3 pieces to make an impact.

Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Chic de Mayo

Aztec, bath mat, candle, eclectic, embroidered, lamp, pillow, planter, plaque, pottery, rug, sconce, southwest, Spanish, table lamp, vase, wrought iron

In honor of Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, I thought I’d go on a hunt for chic mexican-inspired decor.  Of course, the key to keeping things stylish is to step beyond the literal (no mexican wrestling masks please).  The non-literal version of Mexican decor includes everything from ancient Aztec art, to traditional Spanish designs, to modern southwestern style.  Vibrant colors, curved wrought iron and clay pottery are just a few design elements that come to mind.

Here are a few picks that work for a Cinco de Mayo fiesta space or an every day contemporary-eclectic room.

Planter – La Fuente Imports

Floor/Bath Mat – Anthropologie

Candle Wall Sconce – Hobby Lobby

Lamp – Zinc Door

Aztec Plaque – Overstock

Embroidered Pillow – Cost Plus World Market

Any mexican-inspired pieces you’re thinking of incorporating into your space?  You can count me in for the Anthropologie mat and the Aztec plaque!
